Afaik, it's not a change to a config file, it's a change in the way you |
| 10 |
generate the initramfs. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If you compile it into the kernel (instructions on the Wiki; see How-to |
| 13 |
fbsplash), it will start up at the very start. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you load it as a separate initrd, you have to wait for the |
| 16 |
framebuffer to initialize before the splash can start (which takes a |
| 17 |
short while). |

Naturally, if you change from loading an initrd to compiling the initrd |
| 20 |
into the kernel, you do have to change a config file (grub.conf, to |
| 21 |
remove the initrd= line, since you no longer have one), but changing the |
| 22 |
file alone won't make any difference if you haven't changed the way you |
| 23 |
create the initrd in the first place. |
